Virden In this list, I attempt to list those productions seemingly connected to Marvel. A number of the included properties have little to do with the original Marvel comics. On the other hand, Marvel does some comics but had nothing to do with the associated movie. All of this data was gathered from listings in various guides, from video stores, and from emails or postings from the internet. Formal info from Marvel would be appreciated. 1.
